Will, I for one have not been sitting on my hands for well over 20 years. Today I filmed fall colors & marked the spots around the tripod legs so I could shoot the same scene in winter spring & summer (one year pre planning) all for just a 30 sec ending scene, one fading into another, along with ladybugs bedding down for the winter in a shagbark hickory. Next week I'll be filming a GMO debate to get the pro side sticking their feet in their mouths as they have done every time that I've seen them talk, for use on some future project. I've been threatened and harassed by the police for my "Mooreian" approach, run a CSA, hold workshops, speak at every local event that's pro organic or anti crud-agriculture, am president of a non-profit in which the gov's office says that we are the only people doing organic education in the state.
So I don't want to see Think LOKI or anything else. Thinking and talk is fine, What other people have done is fine, you want to compare me with Al Gore fine, but if your not going to do anything, then my pessimism is more than well founded, besides it wasn't pessimism, it was a prod to see if you'd gone any further than the concept and you still haven't shone me that you have. If you want to talk about doing a project, then cut the BS and lets talk about the project. Do you have any film making experience at all? I know it's not easy and I am doing it. > Dear Chris > I think we need ALL KINDS of film, lecture, photography, book and workshop > protests to the status quo.
